2 failed queues for every 1 successful match?

Playing PvP tonight, the queue pops but the last person doesn’t accept. I’m getting this twice as often as matches where everyone actually enters.

What is this? There can’t be that many people going afk and missing the queue notice, can there?

in the time it took for the match, they found something better to do ot went afk

 

this happens for 2 reasons

 

1. pvp is so stale that fishing is at times a better way to spend ones time

 

2. queues are so long the people who originally did q are about to finish a meta event

There is another reason. It has something to do with matchmanipulation.

General advice. If your Q fails leave Q, wait for 30-60 seconds and Q again. Or your matchmaking can be screwed.

It's called win trading.

What is happening is people are synch queueing and when 1 person gets the queue box pop but the others don't, they decline the match so they can go back into queue to make sure the synch works correctly.

The reason why you don't see this happening in unranked is because there is no incentive to manipulate unranked matches.

Players are running alts that they plan to afk, and if it doesn't pop together, they decline or miss the hit so the queue will drop.

This is also done with "friends".

It didn't use to be so noticeable but the population is quite low now, so it is going to happen much more often lol.
